Title: Went to Iron Maiden at Shoreline last night
Post by: Pigslilspaz on August 04, 2012, 05:01:21 PM
Me and the old man went to see them last night, and it was [expletive deleted] SICK. Been to a lot of shows but never had one be this POWERFUL. Almost brought me to tears at one point. Played pretty much all of my favorite songs including Two Minutes to Midnight, Run to the Hills (The first song I ever heard from them), The Number of the Beast, The Trooper, and best of all ACES HIGH (With the obligatory Winston Churchill Speech intro).

Also got the best concert shirt I have ever seen (From California, so I'm quite biased)
(http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Iron-Maiden-Maiden-England-California-Event-Shirt-Large-L-2012-Tour-/00/s/OTk5WDk4Nw==/$(KGrHqN,!k8E+q06d!PwBQHM-5hqJ!~~60_12.JPG)
(Not my shirt but too lazy to take a picture of my own, mine is the same)

Full setlist:
1. "Moonchild"
2. "Can I Play With Madness"
3. "The Prisoner"
4. "2 Minutes to Midnight"
5. "Afraid to Shoot Strangers"
6. "The Trooper"
7. "The Number of the Beast"
8. Phantom of the Opera
9. "Run to the Hills"
10. "Wasted Years"
11. "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son"
12. "The Clairvoyant"
13. "Fear of the Dark"
14. "Iron Maiden"

Encore:
15. "Aces High"
16. "The Evil That Men Do"
17. "Running Free"

Also, Coheed and Cambria opened for them, pretty good in my opinion with their own songs, but their cover of Black Sabbath's Heaven and Hell was AMAZING.


Will upload shoddy quality concert photos when I feel like it.

WWI aviation historian and writer JR Williams was there as well, he was raving about it the other day.

As far as I'm concerned, it's not really a GOOD IM show if they didn't do Paschendale.

Just great, I found out they cancelled the Crue/Kiss show I got tickets to.

Edit: False alarm, the Shoreline show was Cancelled, I'm going to Concord Sleep Train, (Stage where I graduated highschool from, and only 2 miles from my house)
